Never knew about these “Non Sports Trading Cards”. Some are spot on, according to the inter-webs, some are way off.
#Shakespeare for example was 15/1600s, but that relic is French from the 1700s. The #Mozart, #Chopin, I plan to frame, #write a #melody of theirs on the mat. Most of the others I will frame with U.S. #fractional #currency. The Andrew Johnson card (he took over after white supremacists assassinated #Lincoln) is worth $55, apparently (!)

"The Teaching of the Camel, #attributed to St. Cygnus the Silent, states that you must cast the camel from your own eye before you try to remove the camel in anyone else's eye."

"That has to be wrong. It's that it's harder for a rich man to get into heaven than it is for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, right?"

"Nope: It's camels in your eyes. Scholars think by 'camel' St. Cygnus meant 'sleep'--that crud you have in your eye when you wake up."

A soft rumbling chant eminates from three nude augments meditating before a panoramic window along the outer ring of the zócalo. One can't help but peek while the others seek enlightenment within. She closes her eyes when she realizes she's being watched.

Any typos observed in this post are #attributed to the station's atmosphere being at 86% of standard due to ongoing maintenance. Be assured maintenance will address those once hydroponics returns to full capacity. 5/5

"The song's #attributed to Leo Longshanks, the hero of the miner's strike, but new research says that it was composed by Primrose Silas for a musical. The musical flopped, but some of the miners took to singing the song, so it got associated with the strike," Lucy said, looking glum.

"Okay...so why the long face?" Clyde asked.

"Doesn't that make it inauthentic?"

"Nah...it's not the origin but people's love for it that counts. The miners adopted it. It's genuine enough."
